#epicfantasy medias

I have been a fan of #jacquelinecarey for a LONG time. Her worlds are immersive, complex, mysterious, and never cease to catch my imagination. Her characters are full, unique, passionate, and embark on incredible quests.
#starless comes out in June and you are not going to want to miss it!

“We understand how dangerous a mask can be. We all become what we pretend to be.” ― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
💨
One of many books on my TBR that I've been dying to read: the Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. I keep hearing only great things about this author and a couple of months ago I finally bought this book, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet unfortunately. I'm super excited though to read it! I absolutely LOVE epic fantasy but I haven't read any lately due to concentration problems so that sucks. Really hope I can start this one soon!

'The Crippled God' (Malazan Book of the Fallen #10 ) by Steven Erikson.
This serves as the final book in this vastly epic fantasy series. Picking up from Dust of Dreams, the book builds on actions and epic moments leading up to an epic conclusion.
I did have some qualms regarding Dust of Dreams; but considering the last two books were intended to be a single book, The Crippled God does justify many story arcs from the previous book and ties it quite satisfactorily with the story. I may go on and blabber about the usual things (prose, philosophy, world building, etc), but what I liked the most in this book was the callbacks to the first three books. Remember guys, Deadhouse Gates is a very important book in the series - even more than Gardens of the Moon - it sets up certain events whose effects resonate until the end.
The Snake arc tied in beautifully with the Bonehunters, and the Shake arc had an epic conclusion. Truly, if you wade through Dust of Dreams, you are in for a treat in The Crippled God. There were some character moments that were set up wonderfully that it affects you on a deeper level. And some of the deaths were heart wrenching.
Although the journey has ended, I'm looking forward towards reading the ICE books and the prequels sometime soon. I'll end up writing an overall (non-spoilers) series review for the Malazan Book of the Fallen series which shall be up in a few days. In the end, TCG was truly a breathtaking conclusion to this epic series. I'll rate this book a perfect 5/5.
